Objection to 31 Cowper St & 2A-2D Wentworth Park Rd Redevelopment Proposal- Jamie Parker MP

The NSW Government is proposing to sell off and redevelop the social housing estate at 31 Cowper St & 2A-2D Wentworth Park Rd.

The development would replace the existing 19 social housing properties with 74 new properties, mostly private, in two 8-storey buildings which will dwarf the surrounding area.

Our community desperately needs more social housing but as we have seen in other similar developments this proposal could actually reduce the number of social housing bedrooms on site.

Please make an objection by 5:00pm Monday 7 December 2020 using our form submission.

To the Lord Mayor Clover Moore, City of Sydney,
Objection to 31 Cowper St & 2A-2D Wentworth Park Rd Glebe Redevelopment Proposal
Our community desperately needs more social housing but instead of government investing in more properties, this proposal would sell off the social housing estate at Cowper Street and Wentworth Park Road.
I oppose this redevelopment as it will:
<ul>
<li>Privatise public land and social housing with 30% social housing and 70% private. This area should remain 100% for social and affordable housing;</li>
<li>Segregate households according to income with separate buildings for social housing residents and private owners;</li>
<li>Overdevelop the local area with excessive bulk and scale; and</li>
<li>Remove the site from Heritage Conservation Area </li>
</ul>
The existing social housing properties are in keeping with the character and streetscape of Glebe. Our community supports the upgrade of these properties not this proposal to knockdown, rebuild and privatise.
